Tell Me How You Spend Your Days and I’ll Tell You Who You’ll Become

The good news is, you have the same 24 hours as every successful person you know. The difference though might be that they spend this time more wisely.

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received is to monitor the things I allocate my time to and make adjustments so that my everyday behavior reflects what I want out of life. In other words, I have to make sure my daily actions are in line with my long-term goals.

The thing that most people don’t understand is that they build their career daily. You carve your own path with every decision you make and action you take.

How do you spend your days? Do you go to work and come home to watch TV before bed? This must mean you’re satisfied with your job and happy with your life. Do you make time to go to networking events after work? Then you probably want to take your career to the next step or continue your professional development. Do you spend your 5 to 9 volunteering or working on your creative projects – whether that’d be writing a book, filming and editing videos, painting, making beaded bracelets etc.? Then you have something you’re passionate about and showing the world what you care about. Do you stay home and binge watch shows on Netflix or mindlessly browse the Internet?

If you do something well and consistently, it will become your reality. Habits develop as a result of doing something long enough. They become the building blocks of your long-term behavior. This in turn determines the course of your life. If you’re unhappy with where you are, figure out what’s wrong and make concrete changes to fix it. Pay attention to your habits and what you naturally spend your time doing. Eliminate distractions and focus. This isn’t to say that you can’t occasionally take breaks and binge watch episodes of Peaky Blinders (*cough*). However, maintaining a balance is healthy.

A full-time blogger didn’t just write one blog post to reach that level of success. A milestone can take years of dedication, smart investments, strategic thinking and planning.

Take a look at your life now. Have your actions brought you closer to your goals? Are you repeating mistakes and expecting to see different results? Focus on what you can control – your thoughts, your actions. I guarantee you the rest will fall into place.

So, what did you do today? Or better yet, what will you do tomorrow?

What if you had the courage to pursue the things you love? What’s holding you back from living your dreams? Let me know how I can help in the comments. For more articles like these, subscribe to my newsletter.

I like this! A lot of people don’t realize that their level of dis/satisfaction with life can be seen through the daily activities, and – more importantly – that their lives can actually be CHANGED through their choice of activities! This is a great thing to remind yourself whenever your about to sit down to binge on Netflix 😉

Have you ever thought about writing an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs?
I have a blog based upon on the same ideas you discuss and would
really like to have you share some stories/information. I know
my audience would value your work. If you’re even remotely interested,
feel free to shoot me an email.

Hi there, yes I am! You don’t need to know how to code, but some background in it would be useful! I’m currently teaching myself some basics in order to be able to do certain things. But to get started, you only need to know how to follow instructions. Let me know if you need any help!
